Radio industry signs extended deal with Google for live and local radio

The radio industry has signed a new content deal with Google which will see more Australian radio stations on Google Nest devices thanks to new integration of Radio App, the industry’s official aggregator app.

Now, more than 350 Australian AM, FM and DAB+ digital radio stations, including all commercial radio, ABC and SBS stations, are available via voice command on Google Nest speakers and displays.

Google Nest users can now ask for the station or frequency they want to listen to, thanks to new integration between the industry and Google. CRA boss Joan Warner said the new updates are part of an ongoing partnership between the industry body and the tech company.
